Number Plate

[Bazile]

I saw a car the other day with a number plate consisting of just 3 numbers

It did not look like a foreign plate
The plate on the rear ,had a yellow background with black numbers , just like a british plate

Assuming that it was a british registered number plate - i thought all number plates ; private or not, had to have a combination of letters and numbers

Am i wrong ?

Guernsey possibly, give it a google

As well as the Channel Islands, Luxembourg still has some registration plates with numbers only and the rear plate is the same as the British ones - front are yellow same as rear, not white as British.

^^^ My thoughts exactly, Balders. Guernsey plates have only ever had numbers. (They're up to 5 digits these days but I've seen cars with both 2- and 3-digit plates).

There's a car (nowt special) I see in a village near me that is just an O and a single number. Definitely not Channel Islands, Isle of Man or similar. Very strange, never seen anything like it.

There's a car with a similar No plate near me to gg. The same No plate has been on quite a few cars at the owners house over the many years that I have know'n it. Not a channel islands registration.

You can transfer a number plate from one car to another if they both have MOTs
